Under their reign she enjoyed four UK number ones before releasing two solo albums and appearing on Celebrity Big Bother.

But 29-year-old Mutya Buena has been ordered to file for bankruptcy by a High Court judge after she failed to pay a tax bill.

Bankrupt: Mutya Buena has been ordered to file for bankruptcy by a High Court judge after she failed to pay a tax bill

However the singer’s reps have told The Sun Mutya is blaming the bankruptcy on an ‘administrative error.’

According to paperwork lodged with Companies House, the Flatline hitmaker owed her company God Made Me Funky around £22,500 and the organisation only managed to register a profit of £902 in March 2013.

Making matters worse is the fact her other company, Sacred Three Limited, is reportedly in £10,000 of debt.

Mutya still performs with the band MKS, which is made up of former Sugababes founding members Siobhan Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan, but the girls haven't released any new music since September.

Just a misunderstanding? The singer's reps have told The Sun she is blaming the bankruptcy on an ‘administrative error'

Last month Blue singer Antony Costa declared himself bankrupt, following in the footsteps of his fellow bandmates Duncan James and Simon Webbe who both declared themselves bankrupt last year after they were unable to pay their debts.

Meanwhile Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona was bankrupt in 2008 and 2013, and as a result she asked for money from her wedding guests at her nuptials to George Kay earlier this month to help feed her children.

‘I have asked for money. Just a fiver in a card will do. I'm bankrupt and I've got five kids to feed,’ Kerry explained.

Back in the day! The band first formed in 1998 and released their debut album One Touch in 2000

AmelleBerrabah is looking fitter than ever thanks to eight grueling hours of gymnastics training a day.
Her secret? A protein and carb-enriched diet that amounts to a whopping 3,300 calories a day! That's more than double the recommended daily calorie intake for women (2,000). And those abs speak for themselves.Amelle, who trains ‘seven or eight' hours a day with her gymnastics partner pro Doug Fordyce, has dropped half a stone throughout this series of Tumble despite the calorific food diary.
But the ex-Sugababe says she ‘can't wait' to pile it back on! Currently a trim eight and a half stone, Amelle's ‘perfect weight' is nine stone.
‘When you're training so much, you have to just keep eating otherwise you will just really float away,' Amelle says. ‘You have to make sure you eat so you have enough energy for each training session. I eat every couple of hours.'
Want to know what 3,300 calories is? It's roughly the equivalent of:

One large Dominos American Hot stuffed Crust pizza
A McDonalds Double cheeseburger
A McDonalds Large French Fries
A McDonalds Medium Strawberry Milkshake
One can of Coca-Cola
Thankfully though, Amelle, 30, has been gaining weight the healthy way. That means the occasional treat but plenty of nutritious cabs, too. She described a typical day's diet as:
Breakfast: Beans on toast
Lunch: Chicken, vegetables and chips
Dinner: Similar to lunch, with a packet of crisps
Snacks: Two chocolate bars, two protein chocolate bars and protein shakes which are around 200 calories each and a snack before bed.
Sure, it seems like a lot but think of the average hours you're at work... THAT'S how long she trains for. Popping to a 45-minute spin class at lunch doesn't seem such a hassle now, right?SEE PICTURES Amelle Berrabah enjoy the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards after partySEE PICTURES Amelle Berrabah and the Sugababes at V Festival 2010Scarlett Russell

EXCLUSIVE: 'I lost half a stone by eating 3,300 calories a day!' Tumble's Amelle reveals secrets to her amazing abs but admits she's not happy with weight loss

Every Saturday night since the beginning of August, former Sugarbabes singer Amelle Berrabah has impressed viewers with her smooth moves on BBC One’s latest reality serving Tumble, which sees ten daring celebrities try their hand at gymnastics.

Despite being an amateur gymnast, Amelle has been a natural from the start and made it all the way to the show’s final rounds.

And her hard work is clearly paying off with the 30-year-old admitting she has shed half a stone thanks to hard training and increasing her calorie intake to 3,300 a day.

Amazing figure: Tumble's Amelle Berrabah has shed half a stone by increasing her calorie intake to 3,300 a day and training hard

The stunning star explained exclusively to the MailOnline she’s upped her meals in order to compensate for the intense amount of training she’s undertaking for the show, however she’s not entirely happy with her recent weight loss.

‘I've lost about half a stone by eating 3,300 calories a day! I feel a lot tighter as well. I'm still eating very healthily,’ she said.

Adding: ‘I'm having more than enough food but that's all combined with the vigorous training. I'm training for seven or eight hours a day.’

Fierce: Amelle Berrabah showed off her svelte figure when she delivered a stunning carnival-inspired performance on Saturday night's episode

‘When you're training that much, you have to just keep eating otherwise you will just really float away. You have to make sure you eat so you have enough energy for each training session.’

Indeed there’s no denying Amelle has been cutting an incredibly toned and trim figure of late, with the singer revealing she’s slimmed down from nine stone to just over eight and a half stone.

‘I used to be nine stone, people think that's quite big because I'm so small but hey that's what I weighed. In fact that's my perfect weight,’ the brunette beauty revealed.

Working hard: ‘I've lost about half a stone by eating 3,300 calories a day! I feel a lot tighter as well. I'm still eating very healthily'

‘But I'm just over eight and a half stone at the moment. I’m sure I will put the weight back on as soon as this finishes because that is my ideal weight.’

‘I've had a warning off Doug [Amelle’s pro partner in the show] as well because he says if I carry on eating the way that I am now once I stop training, I'm going to pile it on. So once I put that half a stone on, I'm going to have to be careful.’

However, she is still adjusting to her recent weight loss. ‘I just prefer being nine stone to what I am now but what can you do,’ Amelle explained.

Not content: ‘I just prefer being nine stone to what I am now but what can you do,’ Amelle explained

As for her diet she swears by ‘a hell of a lot of eggs’, carbs and even chocolate.

‘For breakfast, I love beans and egg on toast. I have to always have carbs in my diet. I don't agree with cutting them out. I'm Moroccan so I have carbs with pretty much everything,’ she told.

‘For lunch, I'll have chicken, vegetables and chips. I'll have a couple of chocolate bars a day too and a couple of protein chocolate bars.’

‘I'll have crisps too with a huge meal for dinner and then a snack before bed. And all of that's not including protein shakes which are around 200 calories per shake. I literally eat every couple of hours,' the singer mused.

Luckily she's made a speedy recovery on her recent ankle injury. 'My ankle is doing a lot better. But I still have to have it strapped every single day.'

Amelle initially said it would be disfigured for life, but confessed she was being a bit over the top when she said that.

'[My ankle] has gone hard now so I think it's going to stay like that. It's nothing too major, though. I think I was being quite dramatic when I said I'd be disfigured for life.'

'It doesn't bother me because it doesn't affect my movement and I can still do whatever I want to do.'

Gym bunny! 'I think I'm going to continue the body conditioning because my body has never been in such good condition'

A solid start... 'I’m really happy. I really enjoyed it to be honest,' she said after her first performance in week one

'The first thing I said straight afterwards [I hurt myself] with tears streaming down my face was "Does this mean I can't do the show?" I was worried I couldn't continue. But as soon as they realised it wasn't broken, I was fine.'

Looking back on her Tumble journey, injuries and all, she has no regrets.

'I was so happy I could continue with the show because I've been having the time of my life.'

Whether or not she takes home the Tumble crown, the popstar said she will still embrace the gymnastic disciplines she’s picked up.

‘I think I'm going to continue the body conditioning because my body has never been in such good condition,’ Amelle admitted.

TUMBLE babe Amelle Berrabah says her new-found flexibility is working wonders in the bedroom and on the show.

The former Sugababe told how her ­gymnastic skills are helping her tumble with her long-term boyfriend after gruelling training sessions.

During an exclusive training session with the Daily Star Sunday, Amelle giggled: “My boyfriend is definitely very happy I’m on the show.

“He’s started making me stand still for a joke so he can just look at certain areas.

“I could do the splits before but let’s just say I’m a lot more flexible now.

“You could say I’ve been training in the ­ bedroom as well as in the gym. I can certainly do a few new things that I couldn’t do before.

“I’m very confident with him. He makes me feel like a million dollars every day.”

Amelle, 30, has been getting to grips with ­professional partner Doug Fordyce, 24, on the BBC1 show.

But despite her exhausting daily workouts, her relationship with her man, who she prefers not to name, is stronger than ever.

She said: “I no longer have any body hang-ups because of him. He is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.” Amelle also revealed that she was offered around £500,000 to take part in a rival reality show but turned it down.

“When Tumble came up I jumped at the chance. I love fitness and gymnastics. It wasn’t for the money or to further my career”

The singer, who releases her debut solo single Summertime on September 21, is believed to have been paid a fraction of that amount to ­appear on Tumble. She said: “I’ve been asked to do one show for the last four years.
“I don’t want to say who it was but they ­offered me a hell of a lot of money.
“It got to the silly point where they were ­offering almost half-a-million pounds. I did have to think seriously about ­turning it down. I can’t do something just for the ­money.
“I’ve also been asked to do another ­reality show twice before and another one once.
“I’m not saying I won’t end up doing one of them eventually but I have to go with my heart.”
She added: “When Tumble came up I jumped at the chance. I love fitness and gymnastics. It wasn’t for the money or to further my career. It was genuinely just because I knew I would love it.”
Last night Amelle made it through to next week’s final but former Blue Peter host Peter Duncan was eliminated after a vault-off with Carl Froch.

A Brief History of The Sugababes

Sugababes are an English pop girl group based in London, consisting of members Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen. The Guinness Book of World Records have named the Sugababes as the most successful female act of the 21st century with six UK number one singles and eighteen UK top ten hits.

Sugababes were formed in 1998 by founding members Siobhán Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan. In 2001, after just one album and some initial success, Donaghy departed and the introduction of Range in the same year was met with the commercial success. The group survived a second line-up change in December 2005, when Buena left the band and was subsequently replaced by Berrabah. In September 2009, it was confirmed that after eleven years in the band, Buchanan was no longer part of the group and had been replaced by Jade Ewen.
